NeoVim setup

Philosophy:

• If you can't explain it, you don't need it.
• If it becomes a chore to maintain, you don't need it.
• If you have to lookup how it works more than once, you don't need it.

Requirements

• NeoVim (>= 0.10)
  • Editor you need. One can edit without it but not as contentedly.

Optional Requirements

• Nerd Font
  • Nerdfonts are used for icons. Everything should work without it but not as pretty.
• ripgrep
  • Ripgrep is used for searching in files, it is faster than the default grep. Everything should work without it but not as fast.
